1930s Summer Fashions

Friday, June 26, 2015

Well, I was hoping to do some hair tutorials this weekend but I woke up with some sort poison ivy/oak rash all over my face! So, I hope you all enjoy some more old magazine scans for a few days!

I found a big shelf of old magazines at an antique shop near my mom's house in the country last summer. They've just been sitting around so I thought I'd share before they turn to dust someday! This is from Women's Home Companion, July 1939

That last one looks like the cast of The Women. Paulette Goddard is on the bike, Norma Shearer is wearing the black-and-white outfit. And there's Joan Crawford in the snood, and that must be Rosalind Russell under that big yellow hat. :-)

We have a great local fashion collector (1800-present) who lectures on all sorts of vintage themes. He is Ivan Sayers and he teaches at Simon Fraser University, Harbour Centre, downtown, Vancouver, B.C. Canada. Classes are always full.
